Welcome to Blueprint!

This is a Hack Club program where you - yes you, can design any hardware project you want and get a grant to make it real!

Open to all teenagers under 19 years old.

Here's how it works:

1. Start a new project!

Head on over to the Blueprint Dashboard and create a new project by clicking the section below:

Fill in all the details - you can always edit this later! Now it's time to start designing.

Make sure you read over the project guidelines to get an idea of what you can make!

2. Journal your progress!

Every time you work on your design, make a journal entry in your dashboard!

Journal entries are how you track your time & progress in Blueprint. They usually contain what you did during that work session, some interesting things you noticed, and a few images!

A great example journal entry can be found here!

3. Submit your project, get a grant!

Once you think you're done your project, make sure to go over each item in the submission requirements! It'll ensure that your project is shipped. Your project will automatically be returned if it does not follow the requirements

Taking the extra few minutes to go through the checklist makes the review process faster for you and everyone else, since it means that we return projects less often.

4. Build your project, get tickets!

Order your parts and actually build your project! Make sure you keep

At the end, post a demo on reddit or YouTube! You'll get tickets for your build which you can spend in the tool bag!

here's a diagram, if you need it!
